No-Grinding Porcelain Veneers

Closing Gaps and Re-sizing Teeth that are Too Small
She did not like her smile! Her teeth had spaces between them and they were way too small. She even had broken edges that had chipped over time. If she had undergone braces, which would have squeezed all the little teeth together, her smile would be way too narrow and the teeth would still be far too small. Also, her teeth had a square and flat shape that made them look like baby teeth.
Ultra Thin Non-Invasive Porcelain Veneers
To make her smile something that she could feel confident about, Dr. Muslin recommended veneers for her upper teeth and whitening for her lower teeth. Because her teeth were too small but healthy, there was no reason to grind down or changed the natural teeth in any way. Dr. Muslin took a non-invasive approach and there was no drilling, no shots, and no grinding at all.
An impression was taken of the existing teeth and then custom porcelain veneers were designed and bonded in place. These types of veneers are super thin shells of porcelain that become part of the teeth and they can last a lifetime. Dr. Muslin works with his ceramist to design the look for each individual tooth. They determine things like the shape, color, amount of translucency, degree of surface texture and more. All of these design components are what make the teeth look natural and real.

Custom Teeth Whitening
Her lower teeth were then whitened with a technique similar to laser whitening, Zoom or Britesmile, and she also received a custom take home system. After practicing dentistry in Santa Monica for over 28 years, Dr. Muslin has found that a custom take home whitening system in addition to the in office treatment works better, lasts longer, and delivers whiter results. A perfect match between the upper porcelain veneered teeth and the natural lower teeth was achieved.
To finish her treatment she received a custom designed nightguard that is worn over her lower teeth to protect her entire mouth from wear and damage. If she never misses a single night with the nightguard her porcelain should last a lifetime.
